LGA PREMIUM UP 10% TO $824M (Q3 YTD 2013: $746M)

Nigel Wilson, Group Chief Executive, said:

"We are growing our revenues, operating profit, customers and net cash and are continuing to deliver strong ROE.

LGR completed a record 3.9 billion of annuity sales in the nine months to September, which coupled with an internal transfer in Q3, increased total annuity transactions to 5.8 billion. Of this, only around 0.5 billion was from the individual annuity market. To date in Q4, LGR has secured a further 0.8 billion of bulk premium and our immediate pipeline gives us high confidence in writing around 8 billion in total annuity transactions for the full year, double our total annuity premium for 2013.

Over the last year LGIM's total assets increased by 82 billion from 594 billion to 676 billion. International assets now exceed 86 billion, and have trebled in the last four years. We experienced net outflows in our UK index business, these were more than offset by strong demand for our market leading LDI strategies.

Our UK Insurance businesses delivered another strong performance, with Retail Protection growing its sales by 18%. Workplace Savings passed the 10 billion AUA milestone and Cofunds AUA in the last year increased by 11 billion to 69 billion.

Direct investments total 4.6 billion and we are committed to our 15 billion target over the medium term. CALA, LGC's principal investment in UK house building, achieved record profits and is on track to treble its sales to 800 million by 2016.

We remain confident in our ability to deliver economically and socially useful products for our customers and strong and sustainable growth for our shareholders. Recent market volatility is a reminder of the on-going market uncertainty that still exists and whilst no model can be completely immunised, we believe our strategy creates a high degree of resilience."

1. LGIM total assets includes 477bn (Q3 2013: 443bn) of AUM and 199bn (Q3 2013: 151bn) of derivative overlay and GIA advisory assets.

Financial HIGHLIGHTS

Operational cash generation for the Group is up 8% to 844m in the first nine months of the year (Q3 YTD 2013: 780m). New business strain of 17m (Q3 YTD 2013: 40m) primarily reflects improved efficiency and increasing scale in UK Protection and Savings. As a result net cash generation is up 12% at 827m (Q3 2013 YTD: 740m). New business strain excludes any impact of the internal transfer of annuities from with-profits to our shareholder fund.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Legal & General Retirement (LGR)

Total annuity assets increased by 16% to 39.9bn (Q3 2013: 34.5bn) with annuity sales increasing 5% to 3.9bn (Q3 YTD 2013: 3.7bn) and reflecting net flows of 2.3bn Q3 YTD.

We have demonstrated the strength and flexibility of our franchise, more than offsetting reduced individual annuity sales with record bulk annuity transactions. Bulk annuity sales increased 29% to 3,368m (Q3 YTD 2013: 2,613m). In addition we completed the internal transfer of 1,953m of annuities from with-profits to our shareholder fund in July, bringing the total volume of annuity business that delivers value to our shareholders, to 5,829m Q3 YTD. These sales have been achieved whilst maintaining strong pricing discipline across all of our annuity products.

Following the Budget reforms, individual annuity sales in the quarter reduced to 125m (Q3 2013: 323m), down 61%, with total sales in the nine months to September of 508m (Q3 2013: 1,077m), down 53% compared to the first nine months of 2013.

Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM)

LGIM total assets increased 14% to 676.3bn (Q3 2013: 594.0bn) reflecting net flows of 8.0bn (Q3 YTD 2013: 20.7bn) and positive market movements.

As a leading and long-standing DB pension fund manager we have positioned our business to capitalise on the de-risking trend of assets backing UK defined benefit (DB) pension schemes. We continue to see strong demand for our liability driven investment (LDI) strategies, with LDI assets increasing 22% to 273.0bn (Q3 2013: 222.9bn). Net flows of 18.4bn YTD (Q3 YTD 2013: 14.1bn) more than offset our Index outflows. Total net outflows in Index funds for Q3 YTD were (11.8)bn (Q3 YTD 2013: inflows of 2.4bn) reflecting this de-risking trend and lower international institutional index mandate wins.

Total international assets increased by 45% to 86.5bn (Q3 2013: 59.6bn), with new flows of 7.2bn (Q3 YTD 2013: 14.0bn). In the US, we saw further inflows into our liability driven investment (LDI) and active fixed income (AFI) business, with AUM increasing 119% to $77.4bn (Q3 2013 $35.3bn), including GIA assets, acquired in May 2014, of $23bn. We have also recently developed an index manufacturing capability in the US, which forms part of our on-going initiative to globalise our Index business and leverage key capabilities.

LGIM's property business has experienced increased demand from retail clients and UK pension funds, with net flows for the period of 1.1bn (Q3 YTD 2013: 0.6bn). AUM increased 27% to 13.2bn at Q3 2014 (Q3 2013: 10.4bn).

Legal & General Assurance Society (LGAS)

UK Protection sales grew by 10% to 178m (Q3 YTD 2013: 162m) with new business of 55m (Q3 2013: 57m) in the quarter.

Retail Protection grew sales by 18% to 124m (Q3 YTD 2013: 105m) with new business of 41m in Q3 (Q3 2013: 40m). We are the largest provider of retail protection in the UK and benefit from a highly efficient automated underwriting model and broad distribution reach. We have underwritten in excess of 82% of applications at point of sale and in July further extended our distribution to include the customers of TSB. Direct Retail Protection APE continues to grow and now accounts for 16% of business YTD (Q3 2013 YTD: 13%).

Group Protection sales were lower in Q3 at 14m (Q3 2013: 17m) as we maintained price discipline. In the UK we have achieved sales of 54m YTD (Q3 YTD 2013: 57m). Our French business, including Group Protection, saw sales increase 27%, to 65m (Q3 YTD 2013: 51m) leveraging our powerful UK franchise.

In total the LGAS Savings business increased AUA by a further 13% to 119.7bn (Q3 2013: 106.2bn) reflecting net inflows of 4.0bn YTD.

Our Workplace platform AUA has increased 28% to 10.1bn (Q3 2013: 7.9bn), reflecting net flows of 1.5bn (Q3 YTD 2013: 1.1bn). Opt out rates remain low at less than 10% and our platform now has 1,156k customers and 2,159 schemes (Q3 2013: 779k customers, 1,707 schemes).

Cofunds generated further strong net inflows of 4.0bn Q3 YTD (Q3 2013 YTD: 4.3bn) as RDR continues to drive business to platforms. As a result AUA on the platform increased 18% to 69.0bn (Q3 2013: 58.3bn). LGIM funds on the Cofunds platform increased to 4.8bn (Q3 2013: 4.5bn). We continue to leverage our existing bank and building society relationships and have launched shortened approved fund panels, with a higher representation of LGIM funds, to meet evolving customer needs.

LEGAL & GENERAL CAPITAL (LGC)

Total direct investment across the principal balance sheet at Q3 was 4.6bn (Q3 2013: 2.1bn), consistent with the value reported at 30 June 2014. We acquired 115m of new property loans on behalf of LGR and financed our equity holding in Pemberton, the SME lending business. CALA, which recently reported record annual pre-tax profits of 27m on revenues of 294m, is on track to achieve turnover in excess of 800m by 2016. LGC continues to deliver on urban regeneration projects, specifically in Bracknell, Salford, Plymouth, Canning Town, Wakefield and Liverpool. During the quarter we also successfully completed a number of disposals in the portfolio, totalling 308m.

Legal & General America (LGA)

LGA delivered lower Q3 sales of $39m (Q3 2013: $43m) as a result of the price changes introduced in May. Sales YTD were $117m (Q3 YTD 2013: $113m). Our Q3 mortality experience was broadly in line with assumptions across our total portfolio, however we continue to monitor emerging mortality experience at longer durations, together with lapse assumptions, to ensure our reserving basis remains appropriate.

outlook

Our businesses remain focussed on large markets where we see long term structural growth potential. Our strategic clarity together with our scale, efficiency and track record mean that we are very well placed to take advantage of macro trends and continue to grow the business stock. Recent market volatility is a reminder of the on-going market uncertainty that still exists and whilst no model can be completely immunised, we believe our strategy creates a high degree of resilience.

In LGR we expect to write significant bulk annuity business. Integrated asset management; longevity expertise; ALM (LDI) capability; strong capital position; and our three decade track record continue to set us apart in the bulk market. While the exact timing of transactions can depend on external factors, the strength and visibility of our pipeline gives us a high degree of confidence in doubling the total annuity transactions we wrote in 2013 to around 8 billion.

We will have a range of individual retirement products available for April 2015 to address consumer needs in an evolving market.

LGIM, as the largest manager of UK DB pension scheme assets with a circa 20% market share, was an early identifier of the de-risking trend and now has a circa 40% market share of the UK LDI market. We expect demand for our LDI strategies to remain strong and further outflows of Index assets managed on behalf of UK DB clients. We are creating differentiated new products targeted at the emerging growth in UK defined contribution (DC) savings, capitalising on auto-enrolment. Internationally, our US business continues to gather momentum as we expand our distribution capabilities and product offering and are seeing strong demand for our LDI and active fixed income products.

In LGAS we are expanding our distribution capabilities and customer base to capitalise on anticipated growing levels of personal retirement savings and changes in welfare provision. We expect our Retail Protection business to remain a strong market leader. Our Workplace Savings business is one of the biggest providers of auto-enrolment solutions in the UK and will capitalise on increased DC savings, with an anticipated 12 million auto-enrolled savers in the market by 2030, three times today's levels.

In LGC, we intend to invest 15 billion in direct investment over the medium term, matching the illiquid nature of our liabilities and solvency capital requirements to deliver more attractive risk adjusted returns to our shareholders. We expect to grow our housing related business and see good opportunities in the private rented sector and for further urban regeneration projects.

In LGA, following the price changes introduced in May, we expect the lower level new business volumes experienced in Q3 to continue going forward. Delivering further dividends to the Group will remain a key focus for LGA.

We reiterate the operational cash guidance we gave at the 2013 full year results to deliver operational cash generation in 2014 from LGR of around 290m (2013: 260m), from LGAS excluding General Insurance of around 430m (2013: 421m) and from LGA of around 46m (2013: 44m).

1. Solutions includes liability driven investments and multi-asset funds.




2. Overlay assets comprise derivative notionals associated with Solutions business.

3. External net flows exclude movements in overlay assets which have a short maturity period as determined by client agreements (Q1 14: 33.8bn; H1 14: 33.3bn;

Q3 14: 41.2bn) and hence are subject to a higher degree of variability. The movement in these assets is therefore included in market and other movements.
